There is a renewed energy in the City of Vaughan.  Our economy is thriving, major city-building projects are being realized and we have been named one of the top places to live and do business in Canada.  It is clear Vaughan is the city of choice.

I am proud to host the annual Mayor's Gala each year because of what it represents and who it represents and who it supports.  It raises funds for more than 150 not-for- profit and community organizations that require our help to provide services to people who need it most.  Your contribution to our mission will continue to move this city forward without leaving anyone behind.

This year we celebrate our city's spiritual dimension - one rooted in hope, faith and optimism.  It is an opportunity to rejuvenate and revitalize the energy that unites us all - symbolizing the connection we seek with each other and the higher purpose of our lives.  Join me in helping to make a difference in our community and beyond.
